We have been waiting on this report since the day of her appointment. We recieved a diagnosis and therapy recommendations but were left with a lot of unanswered questions. It turns out we would have received it sooner but was returned to the office by the postman. We weren't really sure what the report would include. It has a complete summery of the visit. I was suprised how thorough the summery was. It also included her Battelle Developmental Inventory scores, band her Childhood Autism Rating Scale score.
Out of respect for Peanut's privacy I don't feel comfortable posting her actual score results publicly. According to the Battelle Developmental Inventory she is delayed in several areas including: self care, self concept, receptive communication, expressive communication, gross and fine motor skills, attention and memory, and perception and concepts. Some of these delays are mild, but some of them are a more severe. On the CARS she scored under the severe catogory of autism. What is encouraging is that she was at the lower end of "severe". There is a note mentioning that her positive response to early intervention is encouraging and that they sill re-evaluate atound age 5 to see if she falls under a more mild diagnosis on the spectrum such as PDD-NOS or Aspergers Syndrome.
There was a summery of recommended services and therapies and contact information of our evaluation team.
I was a bit suprised by some of her scores. But overall I understand them. I just keep looking forward and enjoy each day. She has already made so much progress and we know she is going to continue.
